MATCH: Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder
DATE: January 6, Monday

TOURNAMENT: Big Bash League 2024-25
The coveted premier T20 cricket competition in the form of the Big Bash League (BBL 2024-25) has been in full throttle as Match 25 will get underway between two popular franchises Brisbane Heat (HEA) and Sydney Thunder (THU) at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, in Brisbane. Notably, the high-octane game will be played on Monday, January 6.
The Heat’s last match was washed away due to rain. However, their recent form has been a big worry for them. After winning their first couple of games of the season, they were defeated thrice in a row. As for the Thunder, other than a nail-biting thriller which ended up as a defeat, they have won all the remaining games.
Pitch Report
The surface at the Brisbane Cricket Ground is usually preferred by the batters. A high-scoring game could be expected on such a pitch. Opting to bat first after winning the toss could be a wise decision.

Brisbane Heat (HEA):
Tom Banton (wk), Colin Munro (c), Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, Max Bryant, Paul Walter, Will Prestwidge, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Swepson, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann.

Probable Top Performers from HEA vs THU
Probable Best Batter: David Warner
After a match-winning 86*, the prolific former Australia opener David Warner was unlucky to miss out on a half-century in the previous game. He could be anticipated to carry forward the momentum.
Probable Best Bowler: Lockie Ferguson
The right-arm quick has been wicketless in the past couple of games. It could be expected that Lockie Ferguson will bring his vast experience to the table and bowl like he normally does, thereby making life difficult for the batters in the upcoming BBL fixture.
